Profile: Gillespie has actually displayed pretty decent skills in the minors, walking at a well above average clip, making solid contact and showing good power and speed. However, at age 27 he is no longer a real prospect and got buried even deeper in the Diamondbacks depth chart after the signing of Jason Kubel. (Mike Podhorzer)

Profile: Cole Gillespie will be 30 in 2014, which is probably bad for his career because he didn’t even accrue positive WAR as a a 20-something. A quintessential tweener, Gillespie doesn’t play defense well enough to slot at center field, and his bat isn't powerful enough for a corner outfielder. This is especially so after his isolated slugging percentage dipped to an anemic .034 last year splitting time between the Giants and Cubs. He does walk, however, and the Cubs are collecting an island of misfit toys in the outfield, so it’s possible Gillespie finds himself more playing time than one would expect next year. What he does with it will determine whether or not he hangs onto a major league gig as a fourth outfielder, or starts preparing for life after baseball. (Jack Weiland)

The Quick Opinion: Not enough glove for center field, not enough bat for the corners. Gillespie was designated for assignment by the hapless Cubs last fall and may find playing time only due to the team’s lack of other options.

Profile: As a minor league player, Gillespie has excelled with strong plate discipline and decent power. He's received a few shots at the majors, but he's been unable to transition any power as evidenced by a career .099 isolated slugging percentage (.145 is average). Gillespie, 31 next season, should serve as a useful Quad-A type for a major league franchise, but fantasy owners can safely ignore him. (Brad Johnson)

Profile: At 31, playing for his sixth major league organization while owning a career .253 average, Cole Gillespie is the epitome of the world “journeyman,” a transient outfielder whose 157 plate appearances for the Marlins last year represented a career high. He managed to hit .290, but was the benefactor of some batted ball luck, and in any case, isn’t likely to see playing time considering the Marlins have an outfield of Giancarlo Stanton, Christian Yelich, and Marcell Ozuna, with Ichiro Suzuki the likely primary backup outfielder. Skip Gillespie on draft day. (Karl de Vries)

The Quick Opinion: Journeyman outfielder Cole Gillespie doesn’t figure to see much playing time in 2016, and doesn’t offer fantasy owners help in any category.
